Average OEM machines come with 250-350w PSUs. 400w psus are generally high on the average for oem machines. You'll usually only see 400w psus in higher end machines, or ones custom built.
Most people building their own pcs don't know how much they need. They buy a 700w psu when their computer only consumes about 350w.
I've seen -many- oem machines running celerons, semprons, ect, powered by 150w psus. Its not that uncommon.
